Like Echoes, I keep it private rather than a secret. My husband and son openly know about it. I chat to my husband about some experiences here and my son even helps me in games sometimes. But I don't talk about it freely to anyone else. And, this is selfish of me, but I would never recommend the site to anyone I know in real life as I don't want my identity discovered. This is my safe place and I love my anonymity here.
